TOKEN2049 Singapore to host 25,000 in October

TOKEN2049 will return to Marina Bay Sands in Singapore on Oct. 7–8, bringing together 25,000 attendees, 500 exhibitors and 300 speakers. The conference will occupy all five floors of the resort and anchors TOKEN2049 Week, a citywide schedule of more than 1,000 events.

Organizers expect participants from over 7,000 companies across 160 countries and say the programme will focus on institutional participation. Senior figures from asset managers, investment banks and exchanges are expected to attend, with firms named in advance including BlackRock, J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Nasdaq, NYSE, CME and Franklin Templeton. The first 100 speakers announced include Shayne Coplan of Polymarket, Jeff Yan of Hyperliquid Labs, Adena Friedman of Nasdaq, Jenny Johnson of Franklin Templeton, Eric Trump of The Trump Organization, Raoul Pal of Real Vision and Tom Lee of Fundstrat.

TOKEN2049 Week will include investor gatherings, meetups, hackathons and networking receptions across Singapore. Other major meetings scheduled that week include Digital Asset Summit Asia, Sui Basecamp, the Network State Conference and the Milken Institute Asia Summit, and the schedule overlaps with the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix.

Event programming includes the 36-hour TOKEN2049 Origins hackathon and the NEXUS Startup Competition. Registrations and applications for both programmes are running ahead of last year. Finalists in the startup competition will be evaluated by venture capital firms including Dragonfly, Multicoin and Maelstrom.

Organizers report that more than 70% of the exhibition floor has been reserved and expect the event to sell out. A limited number of exhibition and partnership opportunities remain and early-bird ticket categories are still on sale.

Alex Fiskum, co-founder of TOKEN2049, commented: “With our Dubai edition moving to 2027, our full focus this year is on Singapore. We’ll unveil new tracks and formats in the coming weeks as we expand the institutional side of the programme.”

TOKEN2049 began as a global conference series for founders, investors, executives, builders and policymakers in the digital-asset sector. The Singapore edition combines keynote sessions, networking, investor programming and startup showcases, while parallel meetups and competitions will run across the city during the week.
